The air-sea rescue centre said the scallop dragger had been spotted about 80 miles south-southwest of here steering north from Shelburne. THE RCMP cutter Blue Heron wfas heading from Halifax to intercept the Hansen and was reported about 20 miles away from here at noon AST. It was riot jmmediatelv would V I I known when the Heron reach the stolen vessel. Draggers and trawlers both use nets to trap fish. Draggers more than 100 feet long are usually called trawlers. RCMP and rescue centre officials attributed the cause of the second theft to publicity given the theft Friday from Lockeport, N.S., of the Cape Spry, a 102-foot dragger. It was intercepted early Monday about 160 miles southeast of Shelburne by the Canadian Coast Guard cutter Thomas Carleton. Officials today said the Thomas Carleton has been sent to search for the Hansen. Moore was arraigned in court at Shelburne yesterday on a charge of stealing a Canadian ship and stealing property worth more than $50. ROBERT ROBERTSON, sales manager of Shelburne Fisheries Ltd., owners of the Hansen, said she was carrying 6,200 gallons of fuel when she was stolen, enough to last for at least two weeks. -£ 7 Deckhand lEnasa-ckiy Sail, Stolen Cutter Heads To Port HALIFAX (CP) - RCMP say 23-year-old Bruce Moore, a native of Prince Rupert, B.C., was placed in custody aboard the coast guard cutter Thomas Carleton after piloting the 102-foot trawler Cape Spry alone at sea for nearly three days. Capt. Anthony D. Croft, skipper of the cutter, said by radio that Moore showed no resistance when picked up aboard the Cape Spry about 2 a.m. after the chase. THE CARLETON took the Cape Spry, missing from her Lockport, N.S., berth since 5:30 a.m. Friday, into tow. The two vessels were expected to reach Shelburne, N.S. about 11 p.m. tonight. An auxiliary crew from the cutter was placed aboard the Cape Spry. Moore, a six-foot, 200 pounder, came to Nova Scotia from his British Columbia home in January and was hired on the Cape Spry as a deckhand. The vessel, owned by National Sea Products Ltd., of Halifax, had fuel for at least five days and was well-stocked with food. Her disappearance touched off a weekend drama at sea as aircraft scoured the Atlantic 200 miles southeast of here. She was finally overtaken by the Carleton early today after Moore waved off offers of assistance from a United States Coast Guard vessel from Portland, Me. The Cape Spry was sighted early yesterday by an RCAF Argus aircraft. The Cape Spry's skipper, Capt. Kenneth Wamback, 26, described Moore as a good worker, amiable and popular with other members of the crew. His feat in handling the 191-ton trawler alone at sea stirred the admiration of East Coast sailors. AN OFFICIAL of National Sea Products said he m e t Moore shortly after he was hired "and what struck me about him was his unusual confidence." He said Moore quickly learned the methods of East - Coast fishing operations "and I thought, 'My God, the way this man caught on he'll be running one of these draggers before long'." Mrs. R. W. Decker, landlady of Moore, said today she found him "friendly and mannerly." The Cape Spry was not the first fishing vessel to be stolen single-handed from this Nova Scotia south shore port. Just 15 months ago one man spirited away the 50 - foot longliner Ernest and Ronald from the Pierce Fisheries, Ltd., plant here. Cyrus Albert Williams, 49, of Canso, N.S., went aboard the unmanned boat during the early morning of Dec. 24, 1965, and sailed her out of the harbor and east along the coast. Williams was arrested, charged with theft, and sentenced to two months in Shelburne County jail. O------------------------------------
